Today in the News Media

Today in the News Media is a synopsis of some of the most prominent coverage of OSU people and programs. Inclusion of any item constitutes neither an endorsement nor a critique, but rather is intended only to make the OSU community aware of significant items in the media.

“I thank Gary for his many contributions to our student-athletes, OSU Athletics and Oregon State University,” AD Scott Barnes said in a statement. “OSU football has advanced significantly in many ways during Gary’s tenure here, including in our facilities and student-athlete academic performance. This program is poised for success on and off the field.” (see also Oregonian, USA Today, SB Nation)

From Oregon State University, Seiji’s Bridge developed therapy toys for students with autism while Oregon Tech’s uMalt “designed a transportable machine that allows Oregon farmers to malt barley or other grain products at a fraction of the cost, and using renewable energy,” according to a release.

A recent pilot study conducted by Oregon State University discerned that there is a “high economic cost” of having too few safe places for commercial truck drivers to park and rest – costs resulting from a greater incidence of “crash harm.”
